Structural geology

MFFAT720020

4

Mandatory

The course provides a background in the fundamentals of structural geology. It introduces the methods of interpreting structural observations and determining the 3-D distribution of the lithological units, the physical properties controlling the development of fractures, folds, and other structural features. The course also introduces the students to building up, constructing and analysing spatial models.

Mineral deposits

MFFTT720021

4

Mandatory

The key target of the course is to introduce the geology of raw material deposits, their spatial distribution, their quantity and quality for the different commodities.

Engineering geology and hydrogeology

MFKHT720020

4

Mandatory

It introduces students to the key concepts of engineering geology, modern hydrogeology, and field hydrogeology, soil formation, soil classification methods, laboratory and field soil tests, water-to-rock underwater stress, and groundwater flow patterns.

Analytical technics in mineralogy and petrology

MFFAT720025

2

Mandatory

The key target of the course is to introduce the different analytical methods used in mineralogy and geology for the students. There are laboratory classes with individual work about the learned methods nearby the theoretical classes. Thru these exercises the students learn what is the best available method to answer certain geological questions.

Graduate research seminar

MFFAT710006

2

Mandatory

To introduce the methods of information gathering and evaluation, formal and ethic requirements of scientific communication, rules for preparation of oral and poster presentations. During the course these general requirements are actualized to the field of earth science and engineering. Examples and exercises will use English publications and text materials.

Geophysical measurements / Geochemical prospecting methods

MFFAT720031

4

Specialisation

Within the frame of this subject the students specialized in geophysical engineering study the application of geophysical methods in the different exploration phases, as well as the principles and aspects of planning geophysical surveys. An additional aim of the subject is to familiarize the students with the working principles and use of geophysical measurement devices. / Introduction into a basic area of mineral exploration methods, including the theoretical background of geochemical sampling, the detailed discussion of different sampling and analytical methods, as well as the methods of data processing and interpretation. Completion of a geochemical exploration project, including field sampling, sample preparation, data processing and interpretation is an important part of the course.

Geological mapping
